Being Human Can Kill – Part 1

Recently, a Florida school board settled a lawsuit with three families whose children died in 2011. The infraction? The school principal practiced hypnosis on them prior to two committing suicide and one dying in a car crash.

Without a doubt, this is a sad, tragic event. Unfortunately, both the school board and the media are getting it wrong. The hypnosis sessions did not kill those children. Hypnosis is a focused state of attention. We actually go into hypnosis all the time – it’s how we learn and how we remember and why we respond to circumstances in particular ways.

Can I Get a Witness! — The Value of Testimonials

Confession. After 9+ years and over 800+ clients, it’s still strange for me to post client testimonials — in particular, when I’m complimented by name. Without a doubt, my typical Midwestern modesty is triggered. Fortunately, I realize there are good reasons to post testimonials. And there are good reasons for people to give testimony to their life and their good fortune! Here are some reasons listed below.
